Being taken for granted is something that no one likes or appreciates. Someone’s taking for you granted implies that someone is taking you quite casually and is not at all serious for you. Nobody likes to be taken for granted. Everyone wants to be taken seriously and given value and importance. Obviously, if someone gives you time and importance, he invariably expects the same amount of time and importance. Everyone wants care and concern to be reciprocated in the same manner. No one likes to be taken for granted or simply taken casually. So, don’t take others for granted if you don’t want to be taken for granted yourself. Joyce Brothers had remarked, “Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you've become a comfortable, trusted element in another person's life.”
